NR

In 1973, towards the end of the Franco regime, the famous catalan writer Mercè Rodoreda bumped into the literary critic Josep Maria Castellet in Geneva where she lived exiled and she invited him to tea at her house. The writer was a most discrete person and maintained everything that concerned her wrapped in secrecy. Indeed she herself had become a secret or perhaps, even a maker of secrets. However that afternoon, strangely, she opened up and shared many intimacies.

The trip, which seems directed from beyond by the dead woman, becomes a double adventure. A comic adventure, in which the ashes, first in an urn and then in a luxurious handbag, take center stage, and a dramatic adventure, that of the reunion of the friends with an old love of youth, their former coach of gymnastics, which will cause a decisive transformation in all of them. A reunion that will serve to close old wounds and overcome personal conflicts and to realize that after forty life has only just begun
